• Australia on course for a series whitewash after fifth win • Eoin Morgan's half-century the highlight of England's 299 With the series won, Australia have one eye and a bit more on the Champions Trophy, which begins in South Africa in a little more than a week's time. They craved a run chase to test themselves and yesterday, on an excellent Trent Bridge surface and with England helped...

Fast bowler Steve Harmison and spinner Monty Panesar have been dropped from the England and Wales Cricket Board's list of centrally contracted players. All-rounder Andrew Flintoff, who has retired from Tests and is recovering from knee surgery, has an increment contract rather than a full deal. Matt Prior, Graeme Swann and Graham Onions all step up from increment contracts to full, 12-month deals....

• 'Not a crisis of confidence' says England captain • Joe Denly in line to return at the Rose Bowl "International cricket moves on quickly," Andrew Strauss mused earlier this week, "that's just the nature of it". It has rarely seemed to move on quicker than it has in these last four days, in which the heady joy of Ashes victory has melted away and England once again seem...

Australia 260-5 England 256-8 This time the Australians left The Oval smiling. This time they read the wicket correctly. They played their specialist spinner, Nathan Hauritz, who picked up a couple of wickets, and they held their nerve to win by four runs. The match lacked many of the ingredients of a classic one-day encounter. Much of the batting was lacklustre on a surface that was less accommodating...

It is time to indulge this blog in another of my favourite sports, cricket. I am sure every England fan will admit that watching the two and a half days play at Headingley was nothing short of horrific, I mean, it was truly awful to watch. Numbers three, four and five combined in two innings to score sixteen runs between them. That is 16-6, from three of the supposedly top batsmen this country has...

• Nottinghamshire 388; Warwickshire 24-0 Neither version of Ashley Giles had a satisfactory day here. Warwickshire's director of cricket saw his side win the toss and reduce Nottinghamshire to 43 for three. The home side, though, won the day, scoring 388. But if Giles turned to his alter ego in the hope of being cheered up it was to no avail. The England Test selector, here to check on the form...

So England’s much hyped chances of clinching the Ashes series against Perfidious Bruceland at Headingly this week took a very rapid nosedive when Albion’s finest forgot which end of the bat they should get hold of. Many things arse being blamed for the batting disaster that saw our team bowled out for 102. The absence of Freddie Flintoff figured high on everybody’s list followed by...

Pup is paying the price for his match saving innings (should've been a match winning innings), pulling up with a sore tummy afterwards. The prospect of an injured Clarke is a reminder of the paper thin batting stocks the selectors have provided us with. With Shane Watson already moved into the opener spot (a choice I'm still not convinced of), who would come in for Clarke? Ronnie McDonald? Don't make...
